Which would be a better surround processor.


I am going to refigure my older system with some newer equipment ,I have had a 15 year acurus act 3 that I have not played for a while, due to some hearing issues but am going to get back into home theater again. I recently aquired a rotel 1068 and wondering which one would be better just for sound quality and decoding in surround.

@Wynnroulette, you may very well find the analogue in the Rotel better than the 103 and just feed the HDMI from the oppo to tv. I found the analogue far better in my Emotiva UMC-200 than the Oppo 105. Increased dynamics, more neutral highs, and a layed back sound - meaning not forward sounding.
@Dbphd, I am making it obvious as to my opinion that for a $1300 + dollar BDP-universal player, the $600 dollar Emotiva UMC-200 has far better sound quality in the analogue department. It is what it is.....some good friends with real revealing systems have said the same.
